Is trust more valuable than money?

[passwordnow]

In the streets and neighborhoods, if you have no money you'll still survive through the generosity of the people when you're a trusted guy and they know you. But there's no doubt that money can feed you and survive too. I think for someone who values their people and the values that's within their people, they'll put the trust in the utmost of what they consider to be one of the most important things to have.

To a great extent I mostly agree with you... Coz even most of the time, trust is what brings about wealth... Like for example if I have a job to give to a someone, and let's say I don't trust that person, I surely wouldn't want my money to end in his hand because he or she may end up disappointing me.. And in such a case I may eventually end up giving it to a person that I have trust for, one who hasn't disappointed me in the past... So yeah while folks are trying their best to have money and make a good life for themselves and say their family, they shouldn't do anything that would jeopardize people's trust in them....

Both are actually valuable in life, but gaining trust is way more precious than money itself. Money is just a material tool, you can make money in any forms like working on a job, business or investment, but with building trust, it does not happen overnight, it comes from aligning your words and actions over time. Some cannot even guarantee giving their trust to a person despite of that long years of processing.

When there is trust, its easier to build connections and make money, but if there is only money alone, you can't even sure if you will still be given chances to earn money in the next days, months or years.

No, you cannot survive just because you are trustworthy and a good person. Because no one is rich or generous enough to give you money every day just because you are trustworthy. If trust alone were enough to survive, there would not be so many homeless people, beggars, and so many of them dying without anyone caring.

Trust is necessary and important, but it cannot replace money. Money is still more important in many aspects of life.
To be honest, trust is only truly valuable when it helps create opportunities and deliver results. Otherwise, no one really has any use for that kind of trust.

You can earn back money but you will never be able to gain someone's trust back. For example you lose 5 thousand dollars in a bad deal. You can manage to get it back by one way or the other like working overtime or start again but if you lose someone's trust the doors might get shut forever. Reputation is a single street.

Money open the doors while trust keeps them open. You will be able to get your first meeting with an investor or partner while trust will give you repeat business and referrals. Money has the price while trust is the multiplier. Money is the tool but trust is the capital. What are your thoughts?

In the business world and everyday life, money is nothing more than a commodity that can be measured and renewed, while trust is an intangible relational asset that is built over the long term and is very fragile. So the philosophy is this, money is the fuel that keeps the engine running, but trust is the foundation that ensures the engine is not abandoned by its users. Managing both well is the key to long-term success.
To gain trust, you must be honest because honesty is the best investment in the long term. Financial losses can be a lesson for building better strategies, but loss of trust is often the end of a professional or personal relationship.

What is money where there is no trust, everyone of us have to walk towards building a reputation than having money without being trusted, when we are being trusted, it brings in more opportunity for us such that can even generate more money as you wanted, this is where I will always go for trust over money because when you are being trusted you can be interested with anything to handle and deliver it successfully as expected, people know what they wanted and we always go in demand for it once they trust has been established.

I think you are overcomplicating your arguments. When you go to buy something no one asks you who you are, and everyone's money is worth the same regardless of whether you are a reliable person or not. If you need something, you buy it with money, and if you don't have it, the argument that you're a trustworthy person will depend on the seller's goodwill, but it will rarely work.

Ethically there is no doubt that trust is more valuable than money, but the harsh reality is that we live in a world where people are valued for what they have, not for how they got it.

In business, I would say that money is more valuable than trust because we see so many endless examples of how companies lie to their customers but they still don't lose customer base and generate lots of money. For example, Ledger, who has been basically swearing that they were using the secure chip and keys were never leaving that chip, later appeared to be a big lie because they decided to offer people Ledger Recover service. Logically, it should have been a devastating move for this business because they made a huge lie for years but you know what? Nothing significant happened and they probably generated more money. They probably lost a few customers but the majority of them didn't care much about this big lie.

That is true that not everyone is going to give you money but they're going to use word of mouth for you to get endorsed if there are some extra jobs or tasks that you can get paid for. I am sure that people that do trust you will be there to help in every little way that they can even if it's like referring you to their friends. That's why I think if you're trustworthy and you're known, people and opportunity will come to you. Although it's not always a guarantee but at least the chance is higher than someone who's completely a stranger.

What meaning does trust have without money? If you want medical treatment, to pay off debts or to maintain your life, can trust be deposited in a bank or exchanged for medication?
We need to face the reality that we live in a world where money comes first, and almost everything can be measured in monetary terms.

Many people today even put money ahead of their own health and time. Trust means nothing compared to money.

I like the title, in the cooperate world this trust is called goodwill, and fortunately to say... but trust is like a currency which if used wisely opens doors to several other benefits like getting goods and services on credit, reputation of you as an individual or company goes up and a whole lot of perks..

Otherwise I would say trust is pretty much equivalent to $$$ ,and the world revolves around this. Practical examples are credit score ratings if you have this in the green then you are qualified for bigger amounts but if it's low then you are deemed high risk and will limit you to lower amounts.

However, your credit score becomes much less important if you have an asset valuable enough to secure the loan. What bank care about is their ability to recover the money they lend. They do not care who you are, whether you are good or bad, or how educated you are...If you have sufficient collateral, they are willing to lend you money even if you have a history of default, bankruptcy or a very bad credit history.

That is also why the rich often find it easier to borrow money than the poor, even if their money comes from illegal sources

Money and valuable asset still carry more weight than trust.

I don't think that's how things work nowadays. Money is an idol and a god today; if it exists, there will be trust. If you don't have money, then only your friends will trust you, and if you lose trust, you can compensate with an amount that erases your memory and restores your reputation. Therefore, it is not necessary to idealize something that does not exist in our world. You should always take into account the fact that what money can't buy, you can always buy with a lot of money.

By the way, the theme is off-topic.

You have mentioned quite important facts and a clear distinction between both entities. Money is important but you could say that trust is the vehicle that drives the money. There is no movement in a business when there is no trust, so its not really a matter of comparison as both entities work simultaneously and cannot do without the other.

I admire the point where you say "money opens doors but trust keeps the doors open", this point is a simple yet elaborate explanation of what both of them can do. Money brings the connection but trust keeps the connection, its that simple.

In the title of your post you are asking a question while on the thread you are answering your own question. Try to avoid that.
Yes, trust is more important and valuable than money morally and logically but times have changed a lot.
They say money can buy anything and it can also break the trust. For example, betrayal is done by our closed ones the most.
Most of the times, it's money why our closed ones break our trust which is why money is equally important.
At the end, I value trust more than money though. I would rather chose trusted relationships than money.

To me, it's like this you get the chance to enter someone's drawing room for the first time, but the only thing that will give you a chair in that room is your trust. If money is a tool, then trust is the real capital. Similarly the calculation of money is very simple today you have it, tomorrow you don't, and if you work a little harder, it might come back twice as much the day after tomorrow.  But trust is like glass once it is broken, it is impossible to repair it. We see so many people around us who, in the throes of a momentary greed, turn the reputation they have earned over the years into dust in an instant. Then money may come into their pockets but the real doors of life are closed forever.

Whether trust or money which is valuable is based on where it is applied, don't always trust the loyalty of a poor man, it's a common phrase being used, and i do agree with it. Some persons seem trustworthy because they don't have the kind of money to show their real selves. 

Someone who has enough for himself, doesn't need the trust of others, the role switches. Having money automatically creates trust of doing business with, knowing he/she can afford what is in line on business and stable enough to contain risks.

Question for participants: Can trust be bought with money?
Before you answer, please:
1. Think carefully about whether you agree with this opinion.
2. Give an example that clearly demonstrates this. P.S. I believe it cannot be bought, and I’ll explain why, but for now I’d be interested to hear other opinions. 

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Both of them are very valuable, you need money to starts what ever business you are going into, if you don't have the capital, you also need to be trustworthy in the eye of your investors for them to be willing to release capital to you, so in a business sense, you need both trust and money. If consumers trust your products, then you will make success and if investors trust your capacity and reputation, then you will also have their support.

In world money has a lot of importance for every individual lets instance of if we lost it then  we have the abilities to earn it again but in our daily routines trust is the most valuable asset and if it lost it never recover again. For financial loss individuals have plans to manage it and with better decisions it can re earned so a very authentic phrase is here Money opens the doors while trust keeps them open which proves the importance of interest. In daily life and in business we follow the suggestion of some people because we trust them and continuously abey there plans which increase the reliability of characters among them. But trust is not for forever sometime due to some misbehaviour and some misunderstandings demage it but after justifications it can be rebuilt but it requires a lot of consistency because it earned through character.
